The first thing you need to know before you get here is this place is not Zoo it is a sanctuary.

An AZA accredited zoo has a primary goal of educating the public about conservation through animals who are already in captivity and not suitable for placement back into the wild.

BCR focuses primarily on exotic animal ownership and teaching the public about why ownership and the trade is bad for the animals. They also house rescued cats for the term of their life.

Otherwise, I noticed the large majority of the big cats they housed were happy with where they were. I was surprised with just how large some of the enclosures were as well. They also have some very motivated and good staff.
